# Shippo Shipping Elements quickstart

> Try Shippo Shipping Elements with our live demo or run the React sample app locally to see how it works.

Use this quickstart guide to help understand what Shipping Elements is, see how it looks and works, and quickly setup your own application. This is one example implementation created in React using the [CreateReactApp](https://github.com/facebook/create-react-app). For more information on integrating Shipping Elements into your own website, follow the rest of the [Shipping Elements guide](/docs/ShippingElements/index).

## Try Shipping Elements

You can use a working example of Shipping Elements in our [demo site](https://goshippo.github.io/shipping-elements-react-demo/).

1. Using the Shippo web app, get your [Shippo token](/docs/Guides_general/authentication). For testing, we recommend you use your Shippo test token
2. Use your Shippo token to create a JWT using the `authz` endpoint. Replace `<API_TOKEN>` with your token

```shell theme={null}
curl --location --request POST 'https://api.goshippo.com/embedded/authz/' \
--header 'Authorization: ShippoToken <API_TOKEN>' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data-raw '{
    "scope": "embedded:carriers"
}'
```

For more information on authorization in Shipping Elements, see our [authorization guide](/docs/ShippingElements/auth)
